Fails to build from source with multiarch environment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Debian sid, install the build dependencies for gpuocelot.
2. Check out the source of gpuocelot from SVN
3. run ./build.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Building correctly. Failure of build when trying to find some header files 
(e.g., stdarg.h) and some libraries (e.g., libGLEW.so).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gpuocelot revision 2154.

Debian sid i386 (the basis for Ubuntu, essentially), with the following in 
place (sorry for misaligned output):

ii  bison                       2:2.5.dfsg-3       i386

ii  flex                        2.5.35-10.1        i386               A fast 
lexical analyzer generator.

Please provide any additional information below.

During the build, one of the first things that I get is a message like "Glew 
disabled: not found". This is because (according to config.log), it tried to 
compile things as:

g++ -o .sconf_temp/conftest_0 .sconf_temp/conftest_0.o -L/usr/lib -lGLEW

Note the -L option. But on a recent Debian environment, libGLEW.so is at:

$ dpkg -L libglew-dev | grep so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so
